Chapter 133 Honeymoon

    "Seems like a pretty steadfast guy," Caesar said, still a little out of the loop as he took a bite of food. "So, are you two together?"


    Lemon shook her head. "Not quite. It''s more like... we have feelings for ch other. But it''s been three years apart, and we need time. That rumor helped build some hype for his return, and I guess it''s my way of making it up to him."


    Wendy scoffed. "Make it up to him? Please. If it weren''t for you, he''d still be struggling to get noticed back home, barely hanging on. Now, everything he''s built, he earned it. His reputation is way better this way."


    They had always assumed Lemon stayed single all these years because she still had feelings for Chase. But now that Noah was in the picture, it only raised new


    concerns.


    Lemon had never really been in love before and didn''t know what being in a rtionship was truly like. The emotional side of things, she''d have to figure that out on her own. No one could help her with that.


    "I signed Noah a while back, and I''m nning to sign a few e-sports teams next. That was Ms. Zach''s idea. She said e-sports are on the rise and we should sign a few while the costs are still manageable and start developing talent."


    "Ms. Zach is right," someone said. "Looks like she actually paid attention during thest Gennemont joint meeting."


    Wait, this was brought up in thest joint meeting? Wendy and Chase exchanged nces. They had been at the meeting that first day, but both of them had been half-asleep the whole time. They didn''t catch much of what the older board members were talking about and left the moment it ended.


    "E-sports are already a booming industry overseas, and it''s just starting to pick up here. I''ve been leaning that way myself. After the holiday break, I''ll start looking into a few solid teams too. Who knows, we might end uppeting for the same ones."


    Sammy added, "Ms. Zach has her eye on two particr teams. I looked into them—no major issues. The rest were shortlisted during our internal meetings."


    Wendy still focused mostly on traditional industries like jewelry and real estate. When it came to emerging sectors, the only things that caught her attention were IT and entertainment. Everything else, she left to others.


    Wendy and Chase chose Oceania as their first honeymoon destination. It had always been a ce they wanted to visit.


    Gennemont was cold, but Oceania was warm. There, they could bask in the sunlight, enjoy the beach, the ocean, and each other.


    The bond between Chase and Wendy was close. To anyone who didn''t know their background, they just looked like a pair of newlyweds on their honeymoon.


    They sunbathed by the beach, dined under candlelight at night, with bonfires illuminating the sand around


    them.

    "The infinity pool''s pretty big. When I first took over Quinn Group, I expanded the gym. My mom wasn''t too thrilled about it."


    Forpanies like theirs, having an on-site gym was a no-brainer. Healthy employees meant longevity in the workce.


    Plus, it was a decent employee benefit. Staff could bring family members, and those who were disciplined in fitness usually performed better at work. That was something Wendy had always believed in.


    Wendy wasn''t all that into fitness herself, but Zynn spent two hours in the gym every day without fail.


    "I don''t have time to go," Chase said as he dried off and sat next to her, watching people ssh in the endless ocean. “But after the holidays, I''ll drag you to the gym."


    "I don''t know how," Wendy frowned. "And I really don''t have the time."


    Chase nced at her with a smirk. "I''ll teach you. After work, when the gym''s empty, I''ll train you."


    Wendy raised an eyebrow-this actually sounded kind of fun. She smiled, held up her coconut water to Chase''s lips, and said, “Alright then."


    They spent two days in Oceania before heading to Mist City.


    They both had a taste for bold vors, but Chase, being a doctor, usually kept his diet pretty clean. Mist City was a chance to indulge.


    "It''s pretty warm here too. Don''t even need a jacket," Wendy said, wiping the flush


    off her cheeks. "Guess Gennemont''s the only ce that''s freezing."


    Chase replied, "Then our next stop should be somewhere cold."


    They stayed in Mist City for two days as well, but theck of sunshine made them ufortable, so they left a day early and flew to Harnd.


    Snow and ice covered the ground, and in the middle of that white expanse, they held each other close. No matter how thick their coats were, their hearts remained pressed tightly together.


    Wrapped in each other''s arms, they felt each other''s warmth.


    "Let''s make time to travel every year, just the two of us. What do you think?" Chase asked.


    Wendy answered, "I''m fine with it. Just not sure if you''ll have the time."
